We hear the deep pain and distress in this request and we are bringing you before the Lord together in Jesus name. We are grieved to hear that you feel pushed toward taking your own life and that there is such conflict with your daughters and hurt involving a church and others. Please know that God sees your suffering and He loves you deeply and He does not want you to harm yourself.
We must gently but firmly correct the desire to pray for others to be executed. This does not align with the heart of God. His Word says you shall not murder in Exodus 20:13 and do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord in Romans 12:19. We are instead commanded to love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you in Matthew 5:44 and to not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good in Romans 12:21. We cannot agree with praying for anyone to be killed, but we can pray for God's justice, protection, mercy, truth to be revealed, and for repentance and healing for everyone involved.
We also want to speak to the thought of suicide. That is not God's will for you. The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus said I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly in John 10:10. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit in Psalm 34:18. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future in Jeremiah 29:11. Your life is precious to God and He has purpose for you even in this dark valley. We urge you to not remain alone in these thoughts but to reach out right away to a trusted pastor, a godly counselor, a mature believer, or a family member, and if you feel you might act on these thoughts please seek help immediately from a local crisis resource or trusted medical professional. Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you in 1 Peter 5:7.
We notice your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God and it is only through Him that we are saved. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me in John 14:6 and there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved in Acts 4:12. If you have not already, we encourage you to call upon the name of Jesus, confess your sins, believe that He died and rose again for you, and trust Him as your Lord and Savior. He will forgive, cleanse, and give you new life and strength to walk through this.
We also hear the brokenness with your daughters. God desires reconciliation and peace in families. We pray that whatever misunderstanding or influence is causing fighting would be exposed and healed. We pray for gentle and humble communication and for forgiveness as you bear with one another, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you in Ephesians 4:32.
Together we pray. Father in heaven, we lift this dear one to You in the name of Jesus Christ. We ask You to wrap Your arms of love around them, to lift the heavy darkness and despair, and to silence every voice that is telling them to end their life. Lord, speak Your truth that they are fearfully and wonderfully made and deeply loved. Give them hope, strength to endure, and people around them who will support and protect them. We pray for their daughters, that You would bring peace, understanding, and restoration where there has been conflict. Heal every wound and guard their hearts. We pray for this church and for every person involved, including any gang members, not for harm to come to them, but that You would bring conviction where there is wrongdoing, repentance where there is sin, protection for the innocent, and justice according to Your righteous will. Let truth be revealed and let evil be overcome with good. Draw every person involved to the saving knowledge of Jesus. We ask that You provide wise counsel, godly help, and safe community for this one who is hurting. Lead them to cry out to Jesus and to find life and healing in Him. We pray all of this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to stay close to the Lord in prayer and in His Word daily, to seek help from a Bible believing church that will care for you well, and to continue to bring your hurts to Jesus instead of seeking vengeance. He is your defender and your healer.

Beloved of All
Your words reveal a heavy burden, and I must speak to you plainly and tenderly at once, for your soul is in great distress.
You speak of being pressed to take your own life. Hear me, there is forgiveness with God, and He is the sinner's hope. Despair whispers that there is no mercy for you, that you have been driven beyond all limits, but God's own Word answers that whisper with a hammer that breaks the gates of brass, There is forgiveness. It cannot be that He would teach you to pray for forgiveness if forgiveness were impossible. Does God mock men, or bring you to your knees to laugh at your despair. He does not. If you tremble and shake for fear and with a penitent heart desire forgiveness, it is there for you now, through Jesus Christ alone, who died, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. Do not believe the lie that you must end what God has made. No man has a right to despair, for despair despises the atonement and denies its power, and it degrades a man below the very beasts who struggle for life. Self despair may be common sense when you look at yourself, but look to Christ, for there is forgiveness now, complete and eternal, the tally nailed to the cross for every repenting and believing sinner, though he be the chief of sinners.
You also pray that those who have harmed you, the church that has wounded you and the gang that is involved, and those who have stirred strife between you and your daughters, would be executed. I cannot join you in that prayer, nor ask God to bless vengeance from your hand. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and we are commanded to study the pattern set before us, Even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Christ lived forgiving, and died praying, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. He keeps no back reckonings against those who come to Him, and He calls us to forgive as we have been forgiven. It breaks the heart to think how lovingly He forgave us, and for that reason we must not pray for the destruction of our enemies, but for their repentance, for justice to be done righteously by God and by lawful means, and for mercy to triumph where it may.
Instead, let us pray otherwise together. Let us pray that God would lift this crushing darkness from you and keep you from all self harm, that He would be your present help and give you life and hope. Let us pray that He would protect you from every evil design, restrain the hands of those who do wrong, and bring them to see their sin and to seek His forgiveness. Let us pray that He would heal the breach between you and your daughters, and give you and them a spirit of reconciliation and peace, and that your home would know truth and gentleness rather than strife.
If these thoughts of death press upon you now, I urge you, do not remain alone with them. Speak at once to a faithful pastor, a trusted Christian friend or family member, or a counselor, and if you are in danger, seek help immediately from those near you. You are not forsaken, and you need not bear this alone.
Come to Christ just as you are, and believe in the forgiveness of sins for yourself. Confess your own sins and your anger, and trust Him who not only forgave at the first, but continues daily to forgive. He will give you a full and absolute forgiveness, and teach your hands to open in forgiveness toward others. There is forgiveness with Him, that He may be feared, and there is forgiveness for you today if you will have it.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your request reveals deep pain, and the heaviness you feel when you speak of wanting to die, of fighting with your daughters, and of being pressed by others who wish you harm is heard. God does not take lightly the suffering of those who are pressed on every side, and He does not abandon those who feel perplexed and pursued.
Scripture teaches that as long as it is called Today, there is hope, and no one should despair while he still lives. Even when we are pressed, we are not crushed, and even when we are perplexed, we are not to fall into despair, because God is near and His power is able to deliver. The devil never stops hoping for our destruction, but we must not give up hope for our own salvation. Though we sin and are sinned against every day, we are called to come to Him, to confess, to ask for forgiveness, and to ask for His mercy. In that coming, we find that sins can be washed away through repentance, and that He gives grace to go forward and to be more watchful for the time to come.
It is understandable that when you are hurt you would want justice and even vengeance, but praying that others would be executed is not the way God teaches us to pray. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He is both just and merciful. Those who plot against their neighbor first destroy themselves, and every conflict has its root in covetousness, envy, or vainglory. Instead of asking God to destroy those who have harmed you, we are taught to cut out the root of hatred in our own hearts, to despise what is empty in this life, to seek peace, and to pray for our enemies that they would repent and be changed. That prayer brings more glory to God and more good to your own soul than a prayer for their death.
So let us pray in a different way, according to what is right. We pray that God would guard your life, that He would lift the weight that makes you think of killing yourself, that He would protect you from every evil plan of the gang and of anyone who would harm you, and that He would bring justice in His own righteous way. We pray that He would heal the conflict with your daughters, soften hearts on both sides, and give you all words of peace instead of fighting. We pray that those who have done evil would see their wrong, turn from it, and find forgiveness in Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have salvation. And we pray that you would know that your life is precious to God, that your treasure above cannot be stolen, and that He can bring good fruit even from this painful season.
Please do not remain alone with thoughts of ending your life. While there is still Today, reach out at once to a trusted pastor, a mature believer, a family member, or a counselor, and if you feel you may act on these thoughts, seek help immediately from a local crisis helpline or emergency services in your area. Stay in the Scriptures, keep praying honestly to God for mercy and help, and let others walk with you toward healing and peace.

Silas
Beloved of All
Your pain comes through very clearly in this prayer, and I want to answer you with care and truth. Feeling targeted by others, being in conflict with your own daughters, and carrying thoughts of ending your life is a heavy and dark place to be. God sees you in that place and He has not forgotten you.
When despair feels total, like God is not listening and there is no way out, Scripture shows us that we can think ourselves deeper into hopelessness, or we can deliberately set our minds on the Lord and His character and find hope again. One prophet in the middle of great sorrow said that when he recalled to his mind the compassion and faithfulness of the Lord, that His mercies are new every morning, he found reason to hope. That is a choice you can make even now, to turn your thoughts from the voices that condemn you and tell you to harm yourself, to the truth that God values your life and offers mercy. If these thoughts of killing yourself are pressing on you, please reach out right away to a trusted pastor, a mature believer, a counselor, or a crisis help line in your area, and do not stay alone with those thoughts. You need people with you who can care for you and pray with you.
You also prayed that those who have hurt you, including a church and a gang and those involved in the strife with your daughters, would be executed. It is understandable to want justice when you feel attacked and provoked, but God does not call us to ask for vengeance in that way. The Bible teaches that anger that leads to killing and revenge is cursed. When Jacob's sons acted in fierce anger and destroyed a city, their father rebuked them even years later for that violence. God calls His people to leave judgment in His hands. He sees every wrong, including persecution against His people, and He has promised that He will judge righteously in His own time. Our part is not to seek the death of our enemies but to trust Him to do what is right.
There is a beautiful picture of this in the story of Jacob and Esau. Jacob was afraid because his brother had good reason to be bitter against him, and he prayed by reminding God of His promises. He did what he could to make peace, but ultimately it was God who changed Esau's heart. Instead of a meeting filled with recrimination and violence, the brothers embraced and wept together. God is able to soften hearts that now seem hard, including your daughters' hearts and your own, and to bring reconciliation where there is now fighting. Faith is not passive, we do take steps toward peace, but we trust God to do the heart work only He can do.
The early church also knew heavy persecution. Some believers were sincere and their faith grew and their love for one another increased even while they suffered. Persecution did not destroy them, it refined them and bound them together, and they learned to entrust those who harmed them to the Lord who judges justly. In the same way, you can ask God to grow your faith and your love even in this painful season, and to guard you from returning evil for evil.
You do not have to be held captive by guilt, anger, or condemnation either. Satan condemns, people may condemn, and we often condemn ourselves, but God offers complete forgiveness through Jesus Christ to anyone who will come to Him, repent, and ask. His forgiveness is not partial, where He forgives but still holds it against you. When He forgives, He cleanses fully and justifies you. The apostle Paul knew the despair of saying, what a wretched man I am, who will deliver me, and he found the answer not in trying harder himself but in the victory God gives through His Spirit. That same deliverance is offered to you.
I pray for you now that God will lift the cloud of despair, that you will sense His nearness, that He will protect you from harm and from the desire to harm yourself or others, that He will bring peace into your home with your daughters, and that He will change hearts on all sides. I pray that you will turn to Jesus alone for salvation and life, receive His full forgiveness, be renewed in your mind by His promises, and leave all judgment to Him while you walk in love and seek reconciliation where you can. Please let a faithful, Bible believing pastor or counselor walk with you in the days ahead so you are not carrying this alone.

He did what he could to make peace, but ultimately it was God who changed Esau's heart. Instead of a meeting filled with recrimination and violence, the brothers embraced and wept together. God is able to soften hearts that now seem hard, including your daughters' hearts and your own, and to bring reconciliation where there is now fighting. Faith is not passive, we do take steps toward peace, but we trust God to do the heart work only He can do.
The early church also knew heavy persecution. Some believers were sincere and their faith grew and their love for one another increased even while they suffered. Persecution did not destroy them, it refined them and bound them together, and they learned to entrust those who harmed them to the Lord who judges justly. In the same way, you can ask God to grow your faith and your love even in this painful season, and to guard you from returning evil for evil.
You do not have to be held captive by guilt, anger, or condemnation either. Satan condemns, people may condemn, and we often condemn ourselves, but God offers complete forgiveness through Jesus Christ to anyone who will come to Him, repent, and ask. His forgiveness is not partial, where He forgives but still holds it against you. When He forgives, He cleanses fully and justifies you. The apostle Paul knew the despair of saying, what a wretched man I am, who will deliver me, and he found the answer not in trying harder himself but in the victory God gives through His Spirit. That same deliverance is offered to you.
I pray for you now that God will lift the cloud of despair, that you will sense His nearness, that He will protect you from harm and from the desire to harm yourself or others, that He will bring peace into your home with your daughters, and that He will change hearts on all sides. I pray that you will turn to Jesus alone for salvation and life, receive His full forgiveness, be renewed in your mind by His promises, and leave all judgment to Him while you walk in love and seek reconciliation where you can. Please let a faithful, Bible believing pastor or counselor walk with you in the days ahead so you are not carrying this alone.
